In Wednesday's Oklahoman there was a gardening article printed twice. Today (Thursday) I was looking at the TV schedule and saw a listing for a show that I know had been on Wednesday night. I looked at other things on the page and realized they had printed the whole page from Wednesday. You read page 3D and you're on Thursday. Turn to page 4D and it's Wednesday. How do they do that?:eek::D:D

Bu cutting the staff past the bone, and outsourcing copy editing and printing. :(

Sorry for the serious tone, wife's been affected greatly by the journalism downturn (or more aptly, falling off a cliff)...

Luckily with good writing and communication skills you can pivot careers in no time. (coming from a past journalism degree holder).

The Oklahoma just has no value. Day old sports news with coupons is basically all it is now.

The ability to write and create content are more highly valued now than ever... Just not at newspapers.

It isn't so much that the Oklahoman turns back time, it's more they are stuck in the past.

The barage of advertising and constant pop-up videos/commercials are so annoying I don't even visit the site anymore.

Last week the Wall Street Journal ceased print editions in Europe and Asia. They will continue reporting news from those regions, but making it available only onlineI read that buried in the back of the WSJ, but strangely I've not seen it reported anywhere else.

Yep, I know, been trying to get her to pivot for a while with no luck, though she's done plenty of good writing for all kinds of publications and has great copy-editing skills (currently has a session-only proofing specialist job for the OK House of Reps, but it only pays about $10/hour).

Today Tramel had a column on the front page of the Sports section that was not continued inside. I doubt they will have a print edition in 5 years.

I was about to post the same thing! I couldn't find the jump ANYWHERE inside the sports section.

Man, if they hired Cher, they actually aren't bleeding as much money as I thought...

A Page 4C story on U-Haul ends with "...Our organization was founded by a World War"

That's it, cut off mid-sentence. People rely on legacy print publications because of experienced reporters, assignment editors, copy editors, proofers, experienced layout people, etc. Seeing repetitive layout mistakes like this (and Berry Tramel's story mentioned above), it makes you wonder how hollowed-out the Oklahoman has become.

Could have just read the full press release here yesterday.

All the Oklahoman did is re-write it a day later.

Hey, at least they re-wrote it this time...
